† 2023 Summit League Tournament winner As of March 19, 2023 |
The 2022–23 North Dakota State Bison women's basketball team represented North Dakota State University during the 2022–23 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The Bison, led by fourth-year head coach Jory Collins, played their home games at the Scheels Center, as members of the Summit League. After NDSU's win over St. Thomas on February 23, the Bison clinched their highest Division I win count since 2008. The Bison clinched the second seed in the Summit League tournament, the highest mark in a conference tournament since their Division II days.
Their tournament run ended in the quarterfinals of the tournament when they lost to 10th-seeded Kansas City.
The Bison were automatically invited to the 2023 Women's National Invitation Tournament since Summit League regular season champion South Dakota State made the NCAA tournament. Their postseason run ended in the WNIT first round when they lost to Oregon 96–57.
Previous season
The Bison finished the 2021–22 season 11–18, 7–11 in Summit League play, to finish in sixth place. In the Summit League Tournament, they lost to third-seeded Kansas City to be eliminated from the tournament.
